The String Arcade Album Released

This website now offers The
String Arcade, a video game tribute album, which is available as a CD as well
via download. Here's the deal: "The String Arcade's 15 original arrangements
(plus 2 CD bonus tracks) were inspired by games from Galaga to Minecraft and
performed by local Bay Area musicians, with a special appearance by the
Boston-based Videri String Quartet. The eclectic track list spans decades of
video game history from stand-up arcade classics, through the 8- and 16-bit eras
and the golden age of 1990s adventures, to more recent hits, indie favorites,
and mobile/social games. To further the goal of raising money and awareness for
children's music education, several tracks were chosen from games popular among
kids including Portal 2, The Legend of Zelda, and Plants vs. Zombies." Here's
the release trailer.
